The reason for this is simple: Overhead. In the print industry, most of the overhead comes from set up, also known as “make-ready” (aside from the obvious costs of power, heat, etc.). Make-ready is the time it takes to set up a printing press, a folder, a saddle-stitcher, a perfect binder, or any other piece of equipment to run your job. Regardless of the length of the run (i.e. number of pieces) it takes the same amount of time to prep a piece of equipment.
Whether it’s washing up the press before your job runs, making sure the ink coverage is accurate across the page, setting up a folder to fold the press sheet at exactly the right spot, or simply loading and unloading large quantities of paper, there is a lot of time that goes into preparing to run a job. Once the printing press, folder, collator or any other equipment we use is set up, running the job is a relatively straightforward process.

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,
that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. – John 3:16


Allied is a hi-tech, modern, print and mailing union establishment located in the heart of Michigan. We thrive on producing quality materials that develop results and leave an impression on your intended audience. Our internal mail house can procure mail lists, explore postage saving options and coordinate distribution. Allied is a proud member of the Teamsters community and can print our bug on your project upon request.

Bleed is a term used in the print industry to define a document which has color and/or graphics that extend off the edge of the page. The excess color will be trimmed off so that there is no white margin around the document edges. When a product has bleed, it must be printed on a larger sheet than the finished trimmed size.
We use the industry standard of 1/8″ (.125″) on all four sides.

Welcome to a day at Allied! We want to give you a glimpse of what our day-to-day operations look like…A lot of team effort goes into producing your quality print products! Our Sales Representatives meet on a weekly basis to share business goals, discuss customer accounts, marketing tactics, deadlines and so much more. They work with our Project Coordinator to translate customer requests into quotes and job approvals, which later move into production. |
The first step in production after a job is approved is our Design Department. Our Graphic Designers often meet with our Sales Representatives to determine a design strategy. If the art is provided for print, our designers double check all the necessary aspects to ensure the art will print accurately and beautifully on press or digitally. Once Pre-Press produces press plates, our skilled Pressmen will mix any ink needed and fill the wells to start printing. Once the press is running at full production speed, our Pressmen go back and forth double checking quality output and color coverage. |
After the print is dry, the product will move into Bindery for finishing; such as cutting, folding, booklet-making, UV coating, etc. Our Bindery department is exceptional and capable of so many alterations. Once cut to finish size, any orders that require mailing will head to our Mailing Department. Our Mailing Department can order and manage mailing lists, insert multiple pieces into various size envelopes, inkjet address, bundle and sort per Post Office regulations. These capabilities allow us to pass on discounts and savings to our customers. So much more goes on behind the doors at Allied, so if you want to see for yourself, stop by and get a tour of our beautiful facility in Fenton, MI. |
